Post-Game Talk: Habs beat Jackets 5-1

[admiralcadillac]

I’d rather Hage and Dvorak than Monahan. I mean what exactly did Monahan do tonight that made us miss him?

Wtf are you talking about? Did you watch the first goal of the Minnesota game?

Dvorak is the first guy that needs to gtfo this team.

Both eyes and stat told me Kirby had a decent game.

Joel Armia masterclass. Still remains whipping boy

 

[Pazucha]

Slafkovsky is frustrated with himself. He needs to chill out a bit & just play. Kid is super intense. I think MSL just wanted him to calm down a bit.

Yea sure demoting a player who is frustrated for not putting up points to a 4th line will definitely calm him down..

Marty is a joke

Bad useless win but Hutson got a point so I'll allow it

Would certainly take the load off Xhekaj as the go-to guy for defending teammates.

Might set up a Flojack-Tuch-Olivier line.

f*** yea.

Next year a fourth line of

Tuch-Beck-Olivier and Arber on defence.

And you bring Florian once hes ready.

Good team win.

They were passing well, everyone seemed involved in the play. They forechecked well too.

Big props though to the defense. Finally got shaken up and looked its best all season in my opinion. Still work to be done but looked good.

Like I said during the game Guhle playing on his strong side and with an offensive guy in Barron they seemed to compliment each other decently.

Hutson and Matheson had a few wandering players but found they were moving the puck well.

Xhekaj seems to be in a good groove plain hockey, hitting at the right time with not crossing the line. He’s shutting down guys and just overall his game is rounding out the last few games. If any change I expect Savard in for Struble and pair Savard with Xhekaj. Nothing on Struble, just Savard’s spot seems guaranteed. Pair them together for the next bit and right these defence pairings.

Yeah it was Slaf who struggled in this one.

Pretty sure it was his reaction after. Yes, he f***ed up a play, but not so bad he deserved 4th line.

Instead, after his f*** up he skates back to the bench & yells, FXXXXXCK so f***ing loud, you can clearly hear it through the TV. He also snapped his stick in half.

Crazy thing is SN replays it going into commercial break, so you hear his long, shouted f*** twice!

Slafkovsky is frustrated with himself. He needs to chill out a bit & just play. Kid is super intense. I think MSL just wanted him to calm down a bit.

I want them to put Slaf back on his off wing. He's much more comfortable there for some reason.

Absolutely.

 

[Tyson]

Yes. Not producing that much but use his physicality/speed and plays the PK now and seems to have found a chair for himself, not putting pressure on himself to produce goals and points.

Gawd I had so much fun making that meme, I kept laughing every second I made it.

I do when others get chance after chance and don’t face any repercussions

I don’t. The ‘others’ will be gone in a couple of years. They don’t count. The core does.

Plus, the kid lost all focus. MSL let him settle down a notch or five. He came back after and still played, what, 17 minutes?

Marty is a joke

It did and he played a regular shift after that.
He’s a kid. Being told to focus is not the end of the world. He was essentially told that. Slaf is still a pup. He needs to be coached sometimes, you know.

He needs to move his feet and stop trying to be fancy shmancy. Drive the net, and shoot when there is a lane. And stop looking for a teammate all the time. Trying to help a much struggling Dach who is too far away from the dirty zones won’t help him. Shoot the f***ing puck, mane. And play north-south.

Once he goes back to that, he’ll be back.

Tit-cul13 probably played his best game of the season.

And I know they want to help Dach find his groove, but man, he needs to start paying the price a bit. He won’t score if he doesn’t get to the dirty areas. Prolly scared of getting injured. But he needs to. Wraparounds and hanging by the left wall to score won’t work.
